Hanchen and NJ. Juenemann. The So
licitors were quite successful. Up to
Saturday evening their lists showed for
the first ward $3191, second $780,,
third $500 total of $5791. This is a
pretty good days work and there is
hardly any doubt but that the sum of
$4,000 will be raised.
No one will deny that last years fair
was the best one ever held in this coun-
ty. The managers of the fair have al
ways claimed that it paid exhibitors
and numerous letters and verbal reports
of exhibitors have confirmed their
claims. The following letter from the
Cosgrove Live Stock Co., of LIE Sueur,
is fair sample OF those received.
LIE Sueur, April End. 1887.
Mr.. G.. W. II. Heideman Treas.
Resp. Sir.
we nave bought
the Grove 3rd Bull and will show q
herd next fall that will please you.
Will send of the same COWS next fall
as we had there at the last fair. So sound
the hour and tell them we are coming
head and tail up. Sold bull to l.. Bode
andWm. Meyer which we think is di-
| rect result of our exhibit at your fair
last fall.
Truly yours
Cosgrove Life Stock Co.

Above letter is certainly as encour-
aging one to exhibitors as can be. Be-
ing unsolicited renders it the more valu-
able. We hope that farmers who have
blooded stock to show will bring it to
the fair this fall. The premium list has
been arranged so that single exhibits
of stock will not be obliged to compete
with so-called exhibition herds. In all
other lines liberal premiums are offered
and it is to the interest of all farmers
to bring the best products Of their crops
| to the next annual fair.
At this time of the year every pru-
dent housekeeper will renovate his
house. The ceilings must be calcim.
ined and the woodwork repainted.
Chas. l.. Roos has something entirely
new to offer in wall finish. It is a wall
paint composed. of pure Zinc and Lead
ground in 1arnish. It makes hard
| finish and shines like varnish. Can be
washed and will stand ordinary wear
for years. Also carry in stock Alabas-
tine, sanitary Muralin, Kalsomine, Di-
amond wall finish, Lead, oil and mixed
paints. Remember the place, Chas. L.
Roos. Post Office block, New Ulm,

AS progressive euchre is on the de-
cline and progressive poker is likely to
be the next game to find favor we pub
lish the following rules and regulations
of the game, clipped from the Chica-
60 Herald Progressive poker, now
attaining some popularity in Chicago,
is played so much that the booksellers
are getting in stocks of little ribbon
tied books which tell all about the new
game. The plans have been very nice
ly arranged. At the beginning of play
the banker provides the players with
chips, each one receiving the same num-
Der, say sixteen each, of blue and red
chips, and twenty whites. Then the
fun begins.
The head table is the one which all
the players strive to reach, there being
no limit there, except that stable
stakes are played that is, that no
| player may bet larger amount in
chips than he may actually have at the
time, nor more than any other player
may have who desires to call-and no
borrowing allowed. At the second ta-
BILE, the little book says, the limit shall
be one blue chip; at the third, fourth
and fifth tables three, two and one red
chip respectively, while at the sixth or
.;booby" table one white chip is the
largest bet or raise allowable. Jack
pots are permitted only at the head ta-
BILE. and when a jack pot is won the call
bell must be rung as notice to the play
ers at the other tables that it is time to
move up As soon as the bell is
rung all must stop playing, except that
at any table where there is an unfin-
ished hand the players who are already
'sin'' may s.call, and the hands must
then be Immediately shown; no raises
may be made after the bell is rung. If
before the draw, the hands must be dis
played without drawing.
The rules for progressing are as
